The
New York Rangers took little time in getting over a disappointing loss.
Now it is the Toronto Maple Leafs' turn to do likewise.Center Dominic
Moore scored two goals against his former team as the Rangers trounced
the Maple Leafs 7-1 on Saturday to erase bad memories of a loss to the
Penguins in Pittsburgh on Friday."We turned the page on it, we analyzed
it and got ready for tonight," Rangers coach Alain Vigneault said. "Our
guys came out, we moved the puck well, we got some good opportunities
and we were able to finish on a couple."The Maple Leafs will have to
wait until Tuesday when they play the New York Islanders to erase the
bad taste of this loss."When you have a game like that you have to
respond and we will," Maple Leafs defenseman Dion Phaneuf said.Wheel forks suppliersLeft
wingers Carl Hagelin, Benoit Pouliot and Chris Kreider and centers Brad
Richards and Brian Boyle also scored for the Rangers (21-20-2), who
completed a five-game road trip at 3-2-0."We're coming back from a
five-game road trip where we feel that in every game we could have got
something," Vigneault said. "Even in (Friday) night's game I thought we
battled real hard."Left winger Joffrey Lupul scored for the Maple Leafs
(21-17-5), who had their three-game winning streak snapped."It's

season."This is the first time I've been in this building," Talbot said
of Air Canada Centre. "It's a nice building to play in.""He was good,"
Vigneault said. "The first shift of the game they had two point-blank
chances and then from there I thought we did a real good job of playing
fast, playing in their end and doing a lot of the right things."
Jonathan
Bernier started his fifth straight game in goal for the Maple Leafs,
but after letting in five goals on 32 shots was replaced by James Reimer
at 16:35 of the second period.That was Moore's second goal of the game
and his third of the season."It feels good," Moore said. "I thought we
had a much better team game, which makes all the difference. And then we
had the puck more and that's how we were able to create more
offense."We did a better job without the puck in front of our net being
aware and being assertive. And with the puck we didn't give it away and
we controlled it."Reimer stopped 16 shots,Authentic Replica lv monogram vernis handbags allowing

replaced Bernier.Lupul answered for the Maple Leafs with his 12th of the
season on a pass from center Tyler Bozak at 17:42 to make the score 5-1
after two periods."It seemed like the third goal, that was the hockey
game," Maple Leafs coach Randy Carlyle said. "I haven't got much more to
say other than (he was) surprised, expecting a lot more from our group
than what we got. Now it's back to the drawing board. ... We didn't
check. They had the freedom to roam about the ice and do what they
wanted to do."Injuries to defenseman Carl Gunnarsson and right winger
David Clarkson during the game did not help. The extent or nature of the
injuries was not disclosed.The Rangers scored at 6:57 of the first
period on the 10th goal of the season by Hagelin, who tipped in a wrist
